More quotes by Angel Olsen
My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.
Angel Olsen
I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.
Angel Olsen
The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these strangers that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.
Angel Olsen
I learned how to be more theatrical and have more fun, and to take a song and sing it over and over again in different ways, and make it different each time. I'm not just singing the song - it's this thing that's affecting me.
Angel Olsen
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
Angel Olsen
You want to create things as purely as possible without allowing the universe to interfere so much that it's manipulating it and making things unreal to you.
Angel Olsen
It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.
Angel Olsen
When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.
Angel Olsen
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.
Angel Olsen
If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?
Angel Olsen
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen
It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.
Angel Olsen
You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be. You realize that you need to like yourself.
Angel Olsen
I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.
Angel Olsen
Different cultures have different audiences.
Angel Olsen
I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
Angel Olsen
In the music industry, it's pretty easy to make an album just because you want to keep going, like, 'This is the formula.' But the formula is your life. You have to live your life and you have to live it well - that's the formula.
Angel Olsen
Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.
Angel Olsen
There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
Angel Olsen
My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything, people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.
